[Amended 3-6-2024 by Ord. No. 1425]
For the purposes of the article, the following definitions shall
be utilized:
For purposes of this article, "charging" means that an electric
vehicle is parked at an EVSE and is connected to the EVSE and receiving
electrical current.
The equipment, including the cables, cords, conductors, connectors,
couplers, enclosures, attachment plugs, power outlets, power electronics,
transformer, switchgear, switches and controls, network interfaces,
point of sale equipment, and associated apparatus designed and used
for the purpose of transferring energy from the electric supply system
to a plug-in electric vehicle. "EVSE" may deliver either alternating
current or, consistent with fast-charging equipment standards, direct
current electricity. "EVSE" is synonymous with "electric vehicle charging
station."
EVSE that is publicly available (e.g., park and ride, public
parking lots and garages, on-street parking, shopping center parking,
etc.).
A.
Only charging electric vehicles are permitted to park in the locations described in § 79-32.5 Schedule IE, attached to and made a part of this article, which are hereby designated as restricted parking zones for electric vehicle charging. It shall be a violation of this article to park or stand a non-electric vehicle in such a space, or to park an electric vehicle in such a space when it is not connected to the EVSE and not receiving electrical current.
B.
The fee to use parking EVSE spaces shall be based upon the number
of kWh hours, or portion thereof, that the electric vehicle is connected
to the EVSE. This fee shall be determined by the governing body and
adopted by resolution which the governing body may amend from time
to time.
C.
Nothing in this article shall be deemed to preclude a private owner/designee
of an EVSE from collecting a fee for the use of the EVSE, in accordance
with applicable state and federal regulations. Fees shall be available
on the EVSE or posted at or adjacent to the EVSE parking space.
A.
This article shall be enforced by the Police Department in the same
manner as any other parking pursuant to the provisions of the Parking
Offenses Adjudication Act, N.J.S.A. 39:4-139.2, as amended.
B.
In addition to the penalties set forth herein, unauthorized motor vehicles and electric vehicles may be towed and impounded at the owner's expense in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 74A of the Code of the Borough of Wildwood Crest.
C.
Any person who commits a violation of this article shall, upon conviction
thereof, pay a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500 and/or
be imprisoned in the County Jail for a term not exceeding 90 days.
